I wonder if Rex would consider flying one of their 737s from a regional WA city to a regional city in the eastern part of Australia. They do seem to fly to a few regional locations........ Some farmers are even considering occasionally wandering Fred

Depending on how you plan it, a business class (D) One World Explorer ticket ex CMB would only end up slightly over your budget (including getting to CMB). This would also allow a "free" trip within Asia on your way back to Australia via the Pacific since the tickets are valid for one year...

Already up to 4 emails today from unknown senders with attached spread sheets requiring inspection..... Not ready enough for me to inspect. I use my computer to plan wandering Fred

Intra Asian flights on UL are quite reasonable sources for QF SC if the bid for upgrade is successful. Mostly my bids have been successful at a bit over the minimums with the original economy ticket booked in a mid level fare. Much better use of points (positive rather than negative) when...

In the Qantas app, my card shows as Gold with added "Silver Lifetime Membership" at the bottom Who knows if that helps when wandering Fred

OTOH, if happy to fly in economy, award tickets on MH (via QFF) are not a bad value compared to paying $$ Unhappy recently with a separate ticket (timing issues) connection to 3K PER-SIN-BKK, ovenight in SIN (using the MRT not taxis) was a much more relaxing stop connecting on a MH award at a...

email from "my gov" greeting "dear customer" Not a place to be wandering Fred

Hard to recommend anything flight wise when your friends routinely keep their feet on the ground. Otherwise, from PER, QF to SIN or JQ/3K to DPS is fine. then find a partner airline if traveling further. Keep the economics in hand when wandering Fred

Yes COVID does seem to have limited access to cancer (and other) screening. But it (or the vaccines or both depending on who you talk with) does also seem to change the human immune system response to cancer and other diseases which really need a proper response to be held in check, at least for...

I have been fortunate to have been in many of the previously mentioned destinations. For the Nepal fans, the altitude in Kathmandu is about 1400m, so on the low side of altitude issues. I still have a few places I might still get to..... Połczyn-Zdrój, Poland the birthplace of my maternal...

14 Mar PER(0225)-KUL-NRT (0715+) 21 Mar NRT(1005)-KUL-PER(0125+) Google prices at AU$1013 CX is slightly more expensive If you want some QF flights fly PER-SIN and use separate tickets. Overnight in SIN does not have to be $$$$ Keep wandering Fred

Use Qantas (or JQ Plus or Max ticket) to locate to Singapore on an ordinary ticket. Get to Kuala Lumpur (KUL) on a 3K plus ticket (earns on QFF) KUL will be a lot cheaper than SIN. Pick a southern Asia or Indian Ocean destination and book a mid range Sri Lankan economy ticket to a nice beach...

Webjet would be "just another travel agent". As long as your Qantas Frequent Flyer number is correctly added to the booking of a Qantas flight, you should earn points and status credits. If this is not done during the reservation process, you should be able to add via the "manage my booking"...

The UL bid for upgrade program works well on the regional routes. Recently successful on BKK-CMB and CMB-KUL at just over the minimum bids. Note I do book the mid range economy fare classes - just in case. The upgrade retickets into I class - which the QFF program accepts as business class...

I wonder if this a scam or whether the superlative performance of QF's IT department has infiltrated Jetstar All of the links go to email dot jetstar dot com. As such I attempted to check the voucher balance and did seemingly get to the jetstar website. Though the voucher (and my name added)...

Some of the freezer options are less than $2..... And summer is coming Which promotes wandering Fred

Sometimes it is useful to have a 2nd passport. Leaving and returning to Australia should work up until the date of expiration. Arrival etc outside of Oz being handled by passport #2.... Seriously useful when wandering Fred
